thanks @jan.dolezal that worked for me.

for others, in my /etc/cups/printer.conf:

these two were key to getting printing working:

AuthInfoRequired username,password
DeviceURI smb://<your username>:<our password>@<your cups device uri>

in Printers > Additional Printer Settings > <your cups printer> / properties, I also set the DEVICE URI (a windows printer via Samba) but DID NOT add authentication: so just: <your cups device uri>
